Shane Douglas is currently training to become a Target manager.

The WWE has finally released Chris "I Have No Fucking Talent And I Take A Lot Of Steroids" Masters.

Lex Luger is currently suffering from paralysis brought on by a pinched nerve in his neck. The damage is thought to be temporary, but he remains bed-ridden.

"Sycho" Sid Vicious is headling an upcoming wrestling card in Lynn, MA that also includes Justin Credible, Too Cold Scorpio, and The Sandman.

my useless additions:

Luger found jesus.

Carlito asked for his release.

Justin Credible also works at Target, from what I've read.

The Sandman got rich off selling some construction companies he had, so he can wrestler when he feels like it, and not because he needs to.

My Turn:

Teddy Hart is now back in Canada after leaving Florida and being released from his WWE developmental contract. Hart recently got a huge pop during his return to Jersey All Pro Wrestling at their tenth anniversary event in Rahway, NJ two weeks ago.

The current plan for Chris Jericho’s WWE return is for it to occur the night after Survivor Series on the November 19th edition of RAW from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. It is not likely that Jericho will return at the pay-per-view as the company does not want to overshadow the upcoming return of Edge. While all return plans are subject to change, November 19th is the current date WWE officials are working with.

Chris Masters is already taking indie bookings at bookings@veselamarinova.com or 310-663-6811.

Me II:

Some dude is going around to indies as "The Warrior" and "One Warrior Nation", and he's apparently selling autographed 8x10s, but they're 8x10s of the real Warrior. My guess is that this guy is gonna get his ass sued off.

Sued? Please. The Warrior is going to rip that guy's heart out with his bare hands then use it to illustrate why we should we should crack down on illegal immigrants.

Booker T debuted in TNA on Sunday at their Genesis PPV.

Carlito is said to be unhappy in the WWE and may be released in the next few weeks. Personally, I don't blame him. Carlito should have been one of the company's top heels, but the WWE jobbed him out instead.

Don't remember if I posted about Carlito here before, but I might've. Anyway:

Carlito shouldn't have been such a lazy slob. They fed him Cena twice, once in his SD debut, then again on his RAW debut. Gave him a "pit" show, and he had a feud with Flair... what else can they do?

Any dick can grow stupid hair and eat apples. If he's gonna be so cruddy in the ring 70% of the time, I'd rather see them have "The New Carlito" and have it be Bruce Campbell. He could out-cocky Carlito 5000x over, haha

A new Save_US video aired tonight on RAW. This latest clip virtually confirmed that Chris Jericho will be at WWE RAW next Monday night - the night after Survivor Series.

Here are some of the phrases that flashed :

X+1=Y
J=9+1

BREAK_THE_CODE
BREAK_THE_WALLS

6_DAYS
23_hours
33_MINUTES

The Answer is the Code

19_LAUNCH

NEXT_MONDAY

Jerry Lawler even acknowledged the "Next Monday" line.

From the reports I've heard and from the clues above, there's a very good chance we'll see Jericho at 9:30PM next week on RAW.

********************************************

It is interesting to note that WWEShop.com has put several Carlito items on clearance. The company usually places merchandise on clearance once a superstar is no longer with the company or suffers an injury that is going to keep them out for an extended amount of time.

To further speculation that Carlito’s days in WWE could be numbered, he worked the SmackDown/ECW tour in Puerto Rico last week because it is his home country; however, he jobbed to Matt Hardy and Rey Mysterio in two shows on the tour. He also lost during a six-man tag match at a show on Friday, but did not take the pin fall. The fans were said to be very upset with the booking.

As we have been reporting, Carlito is unhappy with his character in WWE and the lack of push that he has been receiving. There have even been rumors that he has requested his release from the company. Obviously his release has not been granted but it could be in the very near future.

No way, he'll make him read his comic. That is a punishment far worse than death. All. Five. Issues.

I don't know if that really counts as "reading". I don't remember there being any words in the Warrior comics, at least not the infamous Christmas one.

That's just the Christmas one. I-Mockery did a review of the other issues not too long ago, but their site navigation sucks so I can't find it. It was pretty terrible though.

Edit: Here it is

Here's the supposed leaked cover to the issue of WWE magazine that will be released next week (it involves spoilers, of course):

Boo to Jericho for cutting his hair.

Jericho also pretty much admitted he's returning to the WWE in this 11/06 interview with WrestlingEpicenter: http://www.wrestlingepicenter.com/articles/195464349.shtml

I can't wait to see Jericho, but I think the WWE has fucked this up. The initial hype has died down. People are no longe excited about Jericho. Now they're more like the lazy roommate who was supposed to have his third of the rent a week ago, and you had to cover for him, and now you're waiting for him to give you back what's already yours.

Wouldn't it be great if the Jericho ad was fake, and Warrior was coming to save us?

- After the Smackdown TV tapings were over, JBL gathered John Morrison, the Miz, MVP, CM Punk, and Matt Hardy backstage. JBL went on to “dress down and berate” the Miz and Morrison for their color commentary on ECW. JBL felt that they ripped Punk apart in their commentary and made Punk look bad as opposed to them just being heels and saying bad things about him. He then yelled at them for their ring work during their match with MVP & Matt Hardy and told both Miz & Morrison to apologize to Punk, MVP & Hardy for making all 3 of them look bad.

The Miz apologized to them, but Morrison told JBL “screw you, it's none of your business.” and said that he would apologize to them, but it had nothing to do with JBL. They went back and forth arguing and at one point Morrison shoved JBL and the agents had to come and break the dispute up.

No word on what the fallout from this situation will be.

Some rumors from the ring:

Source: Wrestling Observer

- After WWE recently re-did the WWE Wellness Policy, there is a huge fear of being fired among some of the Superstars because there isn't a viable "WCW-like" promotion out there. TNA isn't perceived to be on the same level as WCW was because there's a lot less exposure and money.

TNA does have a reputation for hiring talents who were released from WWE due to drug issues, but at this point they're not going to take a released WWE star who lost his job over a drug failure unless he is a main event caliber star or he is friends with the right people in TNA.

The newly revised Wellness Policy is supposed to close up some of the loopholes that were in the previous Policy and make it harder on potential users.

***

-- The quarter hour rating for Chris Jericho's return to WWE on RAW last week was a 3.8. This equals out to 700,000 extra viewers tuning in to see it.

-- The original plan for Ric Flair's WrestleMania run (which would lead into a retirement angle) would have him wrestle on all three brands. The idea was pitched to creative by Steve Austin. Flair is scheduled to return to WWE tonight on RAW live from his hometown Charlotte, NC.

-- While plans are always subject to change, the current plan is for Edge to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Armageddon.

-- We can now confirm that Carlito has indeed given his notice to WWE management. Unless things change he will be departing the company next month. We don’t have the specifics of his contract terms, but it is suspected that WWE will allow him to work anywhere except TNA until his deal has officially expired.

-- Sources backstage WWE say that Triple H wants to ultimately work as a heel in the company and eventually feud with former WWE Champion John Cena. With Cena not being able to work WrestleMania this year, there has been an idea about Triple H turning on Shawn Michaels to headline this year’s big event.

-- Shawn Michaels has told a lot of people lately that he sees a lot of himself in Randy Orton when he was Orton’s age. Whether or not Michaels is implicating that Orton is a jerk (which Michaels will admit to being then) is unknown but HBK has said that he has seen Orton improving for the better.

-- During an interview with Live Audio Wrestling on Sunday night, former World Champion Psycho "Sid" Vicious confirmed rumors that he is looking to return to WWE. The former WWF and WCW Superstar said he has been in talks with Vince McMahon. "We have been talking for awhile now, and we are trying to get things worked out," Sid said.

When Sid was asked about going to TNA, he said that the company is unable to help him reach some of his goals including wrestling in front of 80,000 fans again.

The rumors of Sid wanting to return to WWE date back to the Summer where he had been telling people at indy shows that he was trying to make a comeback. Reports from fans who saw Sid in action recently say he looked very good and he is said to be in good health. With the way WWE likes to bring in big men and big draws, it's likely that he could be brought back in. Many in the business still believe Sid can still be a huge draw, including Kevin Nash of TNA.

They're going the safe route with Jericho, and it's making it seem less like the Jericho that initially became a big name. His first week promo had too much playing up to the crowd, and this week's interaction with Santino had the potential to be AWESOME but fell kinda flat.

I like his new finisher, though. Even if it is just Carlito's move from the front.

Also, wtf @ Carlito and the hole in the wall. They always gotta insert something like that for some reason. :shrug:

Apparently, for the 15 anniversary of RAW, WWE.com had a number of polls set up online. One poll was for 'Best RAW match of all time'. Supposedly, the winner was the Benoit vs Angle steel cage match, but the results were changed to put HBK vs Cena at the top spot, removing Benot vs Angle altogether.

the 60-minute HBK/Cena match?

I don't know what the choices were, but I'd have probably picked one of these:
Bret/Kid from July 1994
Edge/Flair TLC
RVD/Christian ladder match
or maybe that one Jeff Hardy/UT match. I'm no Hardy fan, but that was a good one.

They had some pretty good Monday Night title matches too. If people voted for Angle/Benoit, they should have shown it. Sure one's a murderer and the other one is the heavyweight champion in a company which, despite its flaws, puts on better matches than WWE, but if that's what people wanna see, that's what they should show.

I wonder if they'll celebrate the 15th Anniversary of Nitro in 2010... I kind of doubt it, but it would be awesome.

Apparently they rigged the hottest diva poll as well, so Trish won even though Lita actually had the most votes and Mickie James was second.
